Onazi dismisses Liverpool switch

Super Eagles midfielder, Ogenyi Onazi , has played down reports linking him with a switch to Liverpool, insisting he is happy at Lazio.

The Jos-born star told Lazio Style Radio that he was surprised to hear of rumours linking him with a move to Liverpool.

Onazi has hinted that an interview he granted in London may have been taken out of context, and he insists he is happy with his current club.

“I came back from London yesterday morning, some people have told me (about) this interview.

“I did one interview in London, but I was asked this question on Liverpool. This is very strange. I’m under contract with Lazio, and I’m fine here,” MTNFootball.com quoted Onazi as saying during the interview.

The Lazio midfielder has been linked with a move to Everton following his impressive displays in the Italian Serie A and the national team.
